SUPREME COUNCIL
UPPER SILESIAN PROBLEM. ANGLO-FRENCH SITUATION. A DEADLOCK REACHED. Frees Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 11. The Supreme Council ended in a deadlock over Upper Silesia. The British representatives are returning to London forthwith.
Mr Lloyd George returns alone. The French Cabinet is considering new Anglo-ltalian propositions. The council is expected to meet on Saturdav.
When the Supreme Council assembled Mr Lloyd George and M. Briand ’embarked on a calm discussion on the revised report of the Allied experts, which in the meantime had been presented. After a few minutes the secretary handed Mr Lloyd George Mr De Valera’s reply. Mr Lloyd George glanced at its contents, and abruptly informed M. Briand that he would be compelled to abandon the council session and return to London immediately. M. Briand, in a subsequent statement, sympathised with Mr Lloyd George. He said he appreciated his difficulties and acquiesced cheerfully in his departure. He and Mr Lloyd George agreed that no useful purpose would be served by Mr Lloyd George remaining until Saturday. As a matter of fact, a deadlock had then been reached in the Franco-British negotiations.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
